title: Treatment of bilateral coronal synostosis in infancy: a holistic approach.
abstract: Bilateral coronal synostosis often results in a turribrachycephalic skull shape. Reduction of skull height and elongation of the anteroposterior axis of the skull while preserving normal cerebral function are the major therapeutic goals. A surgical technique is described which can successfully accomplish these goals in a single operative procedure.
